I remained silent for a moment. Wasn't it on the night of the second day of the New Year when Frederic came to the apartment to find me and then left after receiving a phone call?

It turned out that Emilia had been in a car accident, which was indeed very urgent. No wonder Frederic was in such a hurry, and I haven't seen him for the next few days either.

But, didn't Tristan know about this? Why didn't he tell me in the following days?

As I thought about it, I realized that I had been a bit too presumptuous, taking Tristan for granted as my own informant.

I tapped on the screen and replied, "Hmm, I knew, but now these things have nothing to do with me."

Greta sent an emoji with a thumbs-up.

I put down my phone, closed my eyes, and hypnotized myself. Tomorrow morning, I had to go to the company to report and officially start working. I didn't want to waste any more time on other things.

In a state of exhaustion, I fell into a deep sleep. I only woke up groggily when the alarm clock went off.

On the first day of work, I couldn't be late, so I mustered up the energy to wake up and get ready. Then, I took Cruz's car to the company.

I was assigned to the expansion department. Cruz told me that since it is a subsidiary, everything is still in the initial stage, so the expansion department is also a very important and challenging department. The expansion department is responsible for developing new channels and promoting.

I had no objections. As a newcomer in the workplace, the most important task was to be diligent and eager to learn. I decided to study hard.

Three days later, Cruz arranged a house for me, which was very close to the company. He was busy finding a moving company and only breathed a sigh of relief when everything was settled. "Finally, I have settled you down. Your father called me eight times a day, asking if I was taking care of you. I was scared to death."

"Wow, Cruz, when I get paid, I'll treat you to a meal," I said with a big smile. "Bring Sanai and Conner along too, no one will be left out."

Conner was Cruz's son and also my nephew. He was only two years old, and he had fair and tender skin. He was very adorable.

Cruz nodded satisfactorily and said, "Hmm, I think it's fine. I grew up and became sensible."

"I am only half a year younger than you, okay?" I rolled my eyes.

"That's nothing!" Cruz suddenly sighed, "Look at me, my son is already two years old. And you? You chased after Frederic for so long, finally married him, and now it's all gone to waste. Was it worth it?"

I was provoked, "Why do you have to bring up something that upsets me? Do you want to drive me crazy?"

Cruz tapped my head and said, "I feel sorry for you! The most beautiful youth of a girl, you are dedicating it to a man who doesn't love you. Even if you get divorced in the future, you will have to bear the label of a second marriage and pay for your past foolishness!"

"I can't even be interested in a man who minds my second marriage," I snorted.

"That's true, don't worry. I know a lot of talented young people. I will introduce them to you!" Cruz said with a kind smile.

Cruz and I chatted for a while, and as it started to get dark, we hurried back to have dinner. I didn't join him, but instead cooked a packet of instant noodles at my new place.

Unfamiliar country, unfamiliar city, unfamiliar atmosphere, I was starting to miss home a little.

In order to dispel the feeling of loneliness, I initiated a group video call invitation in the group.

I was relieved to see that all three girls accepted.

Janessa was lying on the couch eating potato chips, nibbling away and asking, "Syl, are you still adjusting well over there?"

Cecelia had already started working and began working overtime soon after the New Year. Her head was buried in her desk, wishing she could be face-to-face with the pile of documents. Her voice was somewhat muffled as she said, "Don't worry. Most people in Luxvia are from our country. They are fellow countrymen of different nationalities."

I murmured, "Even fellow villagers speak foreign languages when they meet."
